Math Problem Statement
(x+2)(x-7)
Solution
To expand the expression , apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). This involves multiplying each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial:
Now, distribute:
Finally, combine the like terms:
So, the expanded form of is:
